Motorola E815 iSync USB and Bluetooth Support
 

Here is how to get iSync to recognize the E815 on BOTH Bluetooth and the USB Cable. As always, "use at your own risk". Make sure you make a backup of the iSync application before attempting this modification.

You need to edit the file located inside the iSync app. It's path is:
/Applications/iSync.app/Contents/PlugIns/ApplePhoneConduit.syncdevice/Contents/PlugIns/PhoneModelsSync.phoneplugin/Contents/Resources/MetaClasses.plist

Here is the first addition. I added it between the
<key>com.motorola.E398B</key> and the <key>com.motorola.T720</key> entries:
Next add the following between the <key>com.motorola.usb.0x22B8/0x2A22</key> and the <key>com.motorola.usb.0x22B8/0x3802</key> entries:

Have fun with your new phone :-)

newbie help (please)
 

I made you modifications- isync cannot "find the device"

I am trying to do this with a USB connection
-the phone does show up in the system profiler

I am using the verizon cable- is this the problem? Do I need the moto cable?

Is there something I am missing?

Thank you in advance for your help

After you make the change, quit iSync and diswconnect the cable. Now relaunch iSync and then connect the cable. Finally under the Devices Menu, select "Add new devices...".

Thanks- got it working now- the problem seemed to be that the cord needed to be plugged into a powered usb port- the original attempts had it plugged into the keyboard port, when plugged directly to the computer the attempt worked!

thansks again!!

Apple just released iSync 2.1 with E815 support. [EOM]

so close....
 

hey Gerry
thanks for all the help so far.
I've downloaded 2.1 and all is working fine on the USB front however I still cannot get it to sync using bluetooth. Isync will recognize the phone but will not sync to it. It says "isync cannot connect to this device" any suggestions. I've tried making the changes but still having no luck. My phone is added to my bluetooth profile, should I not have done that? Do I just need to try those changes once more?
thanks
Evan

Same thing
 

I get exactly the same thing.
I have a two pronged approach...
1) Get the D-Link USB-BT device and update the driver:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloa...updater12.html

2) If that doesn't work, I will re-enable OBEX using my PC
http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=674803

Unfortunately, I can't do this until tomorrow. I'll keep the forum posted.

If you use your PC to re enable OBEX will you be able to sync using bluetooth on your mac? I have a PC that I can use to mod this is needed but I don't use it for any of my personal stuff(contacts calanders, files etc.) that I need to be syncing, hey, at least we've got the USB working!
thanks
Evan

EvanDT -- not to sound to simplistic, but have you paired the phone to the computer with the Bluetooth Setup? I updated iSync last evening, and my phone (e815) sync'd with my iCal over bluetooth just fine. Sometimes the obvious is what gets missed, so just a reminder to pair.

Good luck!

I am in no way wanting to hijack this thread, so forgive me.

I was just curious if anyone knows of a "fix" like this to allow the Cingular clad Motorola Razr V3 to work via both Bluetooth and USB? I can sync via USB with no problems, but iSync does not recognize the phone via Bluetooth.

I am able to connect using the Bluetooth File Exchange utility and transfer audio files and pictures, however.

Skybolt - This is EXACTLY what we are all trying to figure out. I am using a non-standard Bluetooth dongle. I'm off to Fry's to buy the D-Link that Apple recommends and apply the firmware update.

What happens is that we can pair the phone to the Mac without problem. iSync then sees it when one adds the device. But under the icon in the device window it says "Cant sync to device".

That is why I need to know what dongle you are using. Is it an Apple built-in Blootooth? Have you applied the patch?

O.K., I have built-in bluetooth, so no dongle. I have installed the recent (yesterday) update to iSync and all is now well. I'm not familiar with external bluetooth dongles, etc., just my buint-in one.

Good luck!

Mary
thanks for your input, I have the apple built in bluetooth. I have paired the device and it lists on my bluetooth device profile, however when in iSync, as gerry said, it shows the phone but says "isync cannot connect to the device"
I downloaded 2.1 and still have the same problem. I doubt that we're making any mistakes in the pairing setup but I'm open to suggestions. Gerry, let me know how Dlink goes, you are not running internal bluetooth correct?
Evan

Still not working
 

I just got back from Fry's with the Apple recommended D-Link DBT-120 adapter. I then applied the Apple BlueTooth Firmware Updater 1.2.

As before, my Mac sees the device but says that "no services found" and iSync reporrts that it can not sync to the device (even though it recognizes it).

My assumption is that the phone has Bluetooth file transfer disabled. Maybe it's only phones sold in California. Thus the class action suit.

Tomorrow, I will attempt the PC hack of the phone to turn the features on.

Mary, dd you get your phone in CA? and just to recap, you have a brand new E815 and all you did was install iSync2.1 and everything works via bluetooth just fine? Thanks
Evan

This is very good to know. I'll be picking up one of these little guys pretty soon. I think i get to upgrade my phone on Aug. 11th :-D

Just wanted to post to let everyone know that just after installing Tiger 10.4.2 a little while ago, I played around with Bluetooth on my Power Mac and my Razr V3 again.

I removed and setup the phone again. With the update to 10.4.2, Tiger now recognizes my Cingular clad Razr V3 as a Mobile Phone. I no longer have to choose "Any device". It let me set it up for Bluetooth sync through iSync.

I loaded iSync, the phone entry was there, even with the black Razr icon, which is the one that I have. I clicked sync and my calendars and contacts were synced via Bluetooth.

Most excellent! :D :cool:

Verizon, not Cingular seems to be the problem.
 

Cingular does NOT disable Obex, Verizon does.
I'd love to hear from a Californis Verizon customer who has the Bluetooth iSync working.

Gerry
heard back from someone in the mac forums who's phone is using bluetooth just fine with the isync file mod. He bought his in MA where he lives. He however does not have isync 2.1
Evan

Gerry, let me know how your PC hack goes. Will you be able to use the bluetooth on the mac after that. I have a PC laptop at home that I could do the hack on possibly. But I want to make sure I don't have to use the PC to do everything.
Thanks
Evan

What is OBEX?

I have read that Verizon has crippled this phone's bluetooth capabilities, but i didn't really understand how. What is crippled about it?

Also, iSync 2.1 has support for this, right? So you don't have to get a hack to make it work anymore right?

Arggh! Latest attempt failed
 

First, finding the PST_7.1.1 is not so easy. I found a site that uses BitTorrent. But the target site is down. Then I found another place. Tried to load it on my PC running WindowsXP SP2 and the PST installer says that it can not install on SP2. This is after spending $30 on the Motorola Mobile Phone Tool. I may just be satidfied with being able to sync.

Obex is the Object Exchange protocol that is used by Bluetooth enabled devices There is a file "seem" on the phone that determines what features of the Obex protocol are enabled/disabled. Motorola has disabled them all

iSync 2.1 has support for both the USB cable and Bluetooth for synching. But until you hack the Verizon phone to enable Obex, you will only be able to sync with the USB cable.

AND you can not move photos or use DUN until it is hacked. DUN allows you to connect to the phone via Bluetooth from your CPU (read laptop) and get Internet connectivity anywhere there is a cellphone signal. If you happen to be in an EvDo area, ynou can get close to T1 rates.

Ah...thanks for that Gerry.

How hard is it to "hack the phone" to enable OBEX...i'd like to do wireless syncing via bluetooth with it.

Does the phone come with a cable that hooks up to my computer, and i have to upload some kind of hacked version of a file to it or something?

Whoo-Hoo!
 

I have Bluetooth Synching working with iSync 2.1. :)
I discovered that the link above to howardforums was close. The version of the Motorola tool to search for is PST_7.2.3. Once I got that, it worked with WindowsXP SP2.
NOTES:
1) Remember to remove your USB device before trying to add the modified phone. The bad side is that you can NOT sync with both the USB or Bluetooth. You have to choose one or the other.

2) I haven't got the multimedia file transfer working yet. Maybe tomorrow.

I now have EVERYTHING working. Tomorrow I'll document the whole process in a new thread. :D

Amazing. Definitely bookmarking that.

Can't wait for my e815!!

side note: anyone know any free dial up services?

I am in California, and just got my e815 via FedEx yesterday. After applying both the iSync 2.1 and 10.4.2 updates on my G5 (with built-in bluetooth), iSync 2.1 recognized it and synced the address book perfectly over bluetooth. So at least this one phone does not have trouble with iSync in California - and I have trouble believing that Verizon would cripple CA phones any more than elsewhere. I ordered it from the Verizon website, and the phone was shipped from Fort Worth, TX, for what that's worth.

I haven't tried anything else yet, nor do I have a USB cable to try enabling OBEX.

To respond to an earlier post -- I got my phone in TN, shipped, I think from TX. I have been able to surf the internet on my PB with the e815, and after the iSync update, I was able to sync my calendar without hitch via bluetooth. I have never tried with the data cable, just bluetooth. I did not want to sync my contacts, just my calendar, and it is working perfectly. Just got a notification of an appointment moments ago, actually! Have not done the OBEX thing, just seems a bit over my head! Have tried to do the bluetooth file transfer from computer to phone, but was unsuccessful -- will have to work on that. Maybe that is why I should enable OBEX?

Skybolt- how did you pair the devices. I can sync at home using the cable. At work I decided to play to see if I could do what you have done- I pair the phone with the computer using the bluetooth set up assistant (from Bluetooth menubar item: "Set up a Bluetooth Device.."). It asks for a device type- I choose "cellphone". It (my mac) pairs but claims that services are not available to sync or use the cellphone to connect to the internet. I am in NY an bought the phone locally.

So no hack is needed to get it to sync via bluetooth, and use dial-up internet access through the phone if you have 10.4.2 and the latest iSync? :confused: :confused:

You may have luck with iSync 2.1. From reading all the posts, it seems that buit-in bluetooth support seems to work. BUT to get "Bluetooth File Exchange" and DUN (Dial Up Networking) you have to do the hack.

I am using 10.4.2 with isync 2.1 and builtin bluetooth. I am confused between the posts: some seem to suggest this should work, others suggest the hack is necessary.....

CA VZW customer
 

Just bought my e815 from the Verizon store at my local Circuit City in San Jose.
I couldn't get it to sync with isync 2.0, but it works fine with 2.1 I haven't tried transferring files, but i am able to download addresses, as well as use the phone to access the internet thru dialup. I haven't tried the dialup, but the phone sync rocks.

My only complaint is that instead of creating one person in my phone addressbook with 2 or 3 phone numbers, i get 2 of the same name, each with a different number. Since i use the voice command anyhow, i don't really care, but it makes the phonebook look pretty cluttered when i do flip thru it.

BTW, my phone is SW version 8720_01.17.03

Hope this helps some people out. It was because of this forum that i discovered hope existed for my new BT phone :)

Have a great weekend everyone...

Seidberg -- I paired the phone as you did, normally. Not sure what the internet and contact prompts were that were given at the time. When I go back to the setup, it says I can access the internet and calendar, but not contacts. In the start of this, I upgraded iSync, set preferences to only update my calendar and that works just fine.

I enabled DUN by typing into my phone ##DIALUP. Got a prompt that it was enabled, I then went to Internet Connect and set up the bluetooth therein to use on the internet. Works great!

Don't know why you are getting the error message that the device cannot be used. Have you tried un-pairing and re-pairing?

Cannot use Bluetooth file transfer, does not see the phone contents, so guess I need the seem edit for that, and I'm not secure enough in my "hacking" ability to try that! Wish there were someone in my town that could do it for me!

BTW I am using 10.4.2 now, though when I set this up I was still 10.4.1 and everything held -- I just tested it.

Good luck!

HondaHirny,
From what I am finding out...
1) IF you have a built-in Bluetooth Mac, you CAN sync the Verizon E815 with iSync 2.1. (2.0 was missing the phone's profile - I published a hack for that).
2) To get Bluetooth File Transfer and DUN (Dial Up Networking) you need to do the seem hack.

To get only one number per name
a) Go to Contacts
b) Press the Menu key
c) go up one selection to "Setup" - Select
d) Change "View" to "Primary Contacts".
Then you will get only one entry per name. You can go into each contact and select the primary number.

Verizon locks it in PA
 

I just received my E815 lastnight via Fedex, and activated the phone this morning. Using iSync 2.1, I was able to backup my #'s from my T720 prior to activating my E815.
I went into E815 tools and Bluetooth and setup it for temp On setting. Then on Mac Mini (10.4.2), I had Bluetooth find device (Mobile phone with #:#:#:#:#:#) and Bluetooth had me enter a 6 digit code on the phone.
Well, the phone (Thank you Verizon) is locked of features (all three selections from Mac are greyed out...can't sync Addresses, access internet...)

I have the Motorola cable (use your AC charger cord to power it when attached to Mac USB port) and Motorola Phone TOOLs (for PC). And I found (thank you for the URL) the PST_7.1.1 file (via eMule).

I'll let you know if I either am succesful getting OBEX going or screwing up my phone.

Anyway, Verizon is getting a letter from PUC (Public Utilities Commission) for selling a crippled device sold as a functional one (Their website is clear that its a bluetooth enabled phone. Not a Limited-bluetooth function phone).

Lawsuits...weeeee. Anyone know a great law firm?

How do I Transfer Music from PC using USB???
 

:confused: All i want to do is transfer MP3's to my E815 with my PC and USB cable. I'm completely new to this. I'm decent with computers but I've never hacked a phone before. I see that you guys have instructions how to do this on here already but I don't understand it. Where do you put this long code in? Somone enlighten me. Can somebody anybody please help me please? What do I need to buy? Where do I buy it? And how do I do this? My phone's just gonna suck if i don't figure this out. Hope to hear from someone soon, thanks guys.

-Zach

Ahh...success!

-Yes, I hacked the e815 with PST7.1.1 and SD prog.
-Backed up the Seem file
-opened whatever I could (there is also a link at howards about nuclearelephant's site and getting free pix server connect and mod the web browser to your own choice for home page...ie Google or MacOsxHints ;)

What I had a problem with (so stupido!) is that I didn't enable the Bluetooth prefs pane on the Mac side (allow file exchange...). So make sure, under the SystemPrefs/Bluetooth/Sharing tab, you enable the boxes (I also checked off Paired Security) Once I did that, I was able to add the E815 to iSync. And sync it did!

Cheers!

Sorry! Wish it was simpler. But you have to do the seem hack. Verizon has disabled the ability to do file transfers. There is a class action suit against Verizon about advertizing the phone as Bluetooth enabled, but not enabling all protocols.

Here's the instructions

Dialup?
 

Hey,

I did the seem hack to my e815, got my files transferring via bluetooth, iSync working... now I just have to figure out how to do dialup with the phone.

So... How? I tried just connecting via internet connect and bluetooth, but I wasn't too sure what I should be entering into the various ISP fields there. Do I use the same ISP info for when I do regular land-line dialup? (Which I tried, and wasn't working.) Or is there some other way?

Thanks! tim

You need to buy the data service from them, which I believe costs $45/mo. Then you add in the appropriate modem drivers for EV-DO/1xRTT over Verizon/Sprint. Using a phone for data service over BT is against Verizon's TOS, and in the case of several phones they have disabled this in the phone. I don't know if this is one of the crippled phones.

Verizon doesn't allow dialup access to other ISPs.

Dialup
 

1) Have you entered at high speed, "##DIALUP" on the phone until it says, "Dialup activated"?

2) The uname and password for data is
Username: <area/number>@vzw3g.com
Password: VZW

where <area/number> is your cell number e.g. 8005551212@vzw3g.com

You will be charged data rates.

Yes, I activated the ##dialup. Is there a telephone number I need to be entering, as with regular dialup (assuming I'm doing this in internet connect)? And, as the previous poster mentioned, do I have to have signed up for this with Verizon first? (Am I maybe missing a modem driver, as he mentioned?) Thanks!

is that expensive? and won't verizon see that you are paying for the data rates w/o buying their dial up service?

(eagerly awaiting my e815 on the 17th of august)

got my kensington usb bt adaptor yesterday!

I think I read all these postings, and I don't think this was exactly brought up this way, but check this out.

I bought my E815 in Manhattan at a Verizon store. The Mobile Web wasn't working so I took it in and it turns out that the phone didn't have ANY of the upgraded codes for V-cast or the Web or anything. Mind you, these phones were selling out all over Manhattan just two weeks ago. The support guy hinted that most people don't know how to use the phones anyway-- which I read into as Verizon or Motorola purposefully NOT selling there phones with the correct codes to weed out the the Pro from the Consumers; hoping people would think its too complicated and not even bother with the features they sought the phone for. That's what I thought. So maybe the hacks are a good idea, or the upgrades to 2.1 and Tiger are whats needed- but maybe our phones just don't have the codes entered in. Maybe we all need to go to our local Verizon store, get upgrades and start talking Class Action NationWide.

Is the E815 worth it?
 

I mistakenly bought the V710 last year, and soon learned then that Verizon idea of Bluetooth wasn't as advertised on-line..."communicate with your laptop or handheld anytime anywhere". While I still reluctantly get service with Verizon, I hope the class action suit teaches their marketing department a lesson. That phone fell apart after being dropped one to many times.

Now though, I'm looking on-line at the special deal to buy the E815 which is the subject of this thread. I've read all the entries, and I still can't figure out whether I can reasonably expect the special deal on-line to pay off in good isyncing with my G4 laptop and handheld. Does the memory chip really work, or is that disabled too? Verizon is vague about all this stuff, and I don't want to waste my time with toying around with promises anymore.

Is the E815 worth it in this cycle? Or, should I just get another phone which requires hand entry of all contacts and calendar information. Maybe I can re-enter an older phone and wait for the real technology to hit the market at a reasonable price.

Alan :confused:

It's worth it
 

Alan,
Once the seem hack is done, it is worth it. I don't have a microSD card. So I don't know if or how it works. But from what I've read, it does.

My ONLY complaint now is that the 1MP camera and cheap lens just isn't good enough. But I presume that in 2 years when I'm eligible for a new camera that will be fixed.

It worked once
 

I have an e815, that I ordered from the website, and was shipped to me from Tennessee.

I plugged in my D-Link adapter (I wasnt smart enough to get it preinstalled when I bought my iBook) and paired it with my phone. It synced perfectly, all my contacts and my calendars.

Then I changed the setting in iTunes to sync the email addresses as well, and it no longer works. Even turning that off no longer works.

I've deleted preferences, paired and deleted etc many times.

Took my phone into a Verizon store in Manhattan and they just looked at me funny.

The error message I get, from iSync is, "An unexpected exception occured while synchronizing the device. Device "WonderPhone" synchronization failed."

Hope someone can help :)

Need help with the hack
 

OK, I was able to make my e815 discoverable and recognized by iSync, but when I tried to sync, the Mac said service not available, which I assume verifies the crippled transfer protocols. Now, I'm not used to using terminal, so I need more clarification on exactly what to do on the keyboard CPYCGerry. By the way, I've got the USB cable but not the PC.
:o

OOB USB should work
 

xtech,
OOB (Out Of the Box) USB data cable and iSync 2.1 should work without any modifications. It is only Bluetooth File Transfer/sync/DUN that requires phone modifications.

Delete the device in iSync
quit iSync
throw out the iSync preferences in ~/Library/Preferncescom.apple.isync.plist.
reboot
plug in the phone
start iSync 2.1
add device

should work ;)

I just got my E815 the other day and have successfully used iSync with almost no trouble at all. Both iCal and Address Book sync just fine over bluetooth.

Also, I figured out a relatively easy way to work around the Verizon OBEX block. I use a website (www.3guploads.com) to upload all sorts of things to the phone. The site works with just about any service provider and most phones. There are 30 thousand or so existing ringtones, wallpapers, etc. I just upload my truncated mp3 files to my "locker" on the site, I automatically receive a text message on the phone containing the file, and I save the file to be used as a ringtone. Works flawlessly. One tiny drawback: the site charges $10 for 1 year of unlimited downloading...a small price if you ask me.

Now...for my question. I synced my calendar in iCal...but none of the event alarms transferred. Can this be done? Did I miss something? I really want my phone to ring when I have an appointment...can anyone help?

Thanks,

Neil

Doing these things didn't seem to help me. Additional clarification needed, sorry...see attached

Ok, it works but this is pretty crude
 

OK, I managed to isync my phone both by cable and wireless, but isync wheel spins forever and I still get a lot of error messages. Turning the phone off and on again seems to help. As noted before, the data is a mess within the phone. My international numbers become two contacts, for example. It is an improvement over the V710 though. Now, to figure out how to transfer the photos.

Don't see a USB port on the phone?!
 

I just got my E815 and I don't see a USB port on it. Are there ways to hack the phone through Bluetooth connections?

What is all the software that I will need to use OBEX?

How To iSync Motorola e815 via Bluetooth on MAC OSX
 

Just thought I'd add a solution for everybody. I have this phone and a G5 dual 2Ghz. I had a nightmare trying to set this up, and discovered a few things by accident. My steps to reproduce are below.

This process was done identically on both a 10.4 partition and a 10.4.2 partition.

There is no set of instructions that I ever found that detailed these steps, but let me tell you, after the nightmares of trying to get it set up, I wish somebody would have told me this. This procedure should work flawlessly for anybody on Tiger. This Process should allow you via Bluetooth to connect with iSync. Downloading pictures and/or media files and such is something I am still working on, but this ought to get anybody with Bluetooth up and running and free of USB cables.



1. If you do not have the factory-installed internal bluetooth module in your G5, get the D-Link DBT-120. Make certain the Hardware Revision (found on a sticker on the actual module) is 3 or higher. The one I bought was 4, it was about $40 at Fry's Electronics, Burbank, CA.

2. Plug the D-Link module directly (no hub) into a USB port on the G5.

3. Download and run the firmware updater from Apple, located here:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloa...updater12.html

4. Re-Start your computer.

5. Notice upon Re-Strating that in the upper right corner of your screen, near the clock, there is a Bluetooth Logo on the bar.

6. Click this logo.

7. Scroll down and click "Set Up Bluetooth Device," this will launch the "Bluetooth Setup Assistant"

8. At the Welcome Screen, Click "Continue"

9. At the "Select Device Type" screen, choose "Mobile Phone" and STOP RIGHT THERE.

11. Make certain you have no other Bluetooth devices powered up, just for safety, and open your Motorola e815. Navigate to the following page on the cell phone:

Main Menu > Settings > Connection > Bluetooth Link > Setup

12. There are two features on this page that you will need to access. Make certain Power is set to "ON," and then Select the ooption "FIND ME"

13. Your phone will inform you that it is discoverable for 60 seconds. At this point, return to the computer screen, where we left off at the "Select Device Type" screen, with "Mobile Phone" selected, and now click "CONTINUE"

14. Allow the computer at least 60 seconds to search for the phone. First you should see the phone's hexadecimal address pop up, followed by the phone's name. When you see the phone's name, click "CONTINUE"

15. This takes you to the "Bluetooth Mobile Phone Setup" screen, where the computer attempts to pair with the phone. It will display a 6-digit number on the computer screen, and your phone should chirp, asking permission to pair with the computer. Tell it YES, and enter the onscreen code/password into your phone, then on the phone click OK. Wait a few moments, as the phone and computer communicate and chirp a bit. When the Setup Assistant onscreen changes pages, move to the next step.

16. The Setup Assistant will then ask you to choose which services you'd like to use with your mobile phone. Obviously, choose iSync, and click Continue.

17. iSync should open and already have your phone there, ready to go.

18. From here, you should be able to figure the rest out, following the onscreen instructions. It's pretty simple at this point. Enjoy your phone and iSync. Because of interference in my area, my phone has to be pretty close to the computer, or I risk dropped connections between the phone and computer. Don't freak if this happens to you, move closer. Once the phone is found, everything should be cool.

if you have further questions, I can be reached at smack@echosonic.com

;)

Same here...CPYCGerry's suggestion's much appreciated, but I wound up with the same error as in xtech's screenshot. On the next attempt, I got another failure with the message "device can't become functional."

It's encouraging to know it *is* possible to use USB to syncronize address and datebook data. Seems like it should be such a simple thing, but there's amazingly little documentation or support.

Thanks for any suggestions.

A quick off topic-note...

I recently broke my E815, and Verizon was no help in replacing it at a good price. So i switched to cingular, they paid half my termination fee with verizon, and gave me a silver razr v3 for free.

The beauty of it...apparently Cingular does not cripple their phone's bluetooth capabilities like verizon. I have been transferring contacts, and mp3s as ringers to my Razr via Bluetooth File Exchange and also using iSync with no additional software.

Good luck to everyone with their e815's, i never got file transfer over bluetooth working, although iSync works fine for everything it does.

i also hacked my e815 and now cannot isync. could you help?

PHone #
 

I read somewhere that the phone number should be #777. It doesn't seem to work with the above settings? Can anyone advise what I should put in the phone number field in Internet Connect bluetooth settings? Thanks

Go through the BT setup process, and accept the defaults. Change nothing. It will dial #777 with no account name and no password. That works.

Might it be possible to get iSync to see a Motorola W510
 

Hello

I am new around here. Mac user since 1991, german, living in Spain.

Just got a Motorola W510, and I wonder if a similar trick would work with this phone. I imagine that some of the specifications will be different.

Any hint?

Best regards - Klaus

iSync with Motorola W510
 

Trying around, I found a partial solution modifying the mentioned plist file (with Pref Setter). My contacts are transferred correctly to the phone. The calender doesn't sync. iSync shows an error message informing that a series of events couldn't be synchronised (all existing). It's indifferent if all day or specifying hours.

But, at least my contacts arrived at the phone. Here are the values I introduced in the plist file:

/Applications/iSync.app/Contents/PlugIns/ApplePhoneConduit.syncdevice/Contents/PlugIns/PhoneModelsSync.phoneplugin/Contents/Resources/MetaClasses.plist"

Anyone with W510 except me? Anyone?? :)
 

Hello. I just got Motorola W510, and I feel like I'm one of like three users of that phone and Mac OSX in the world. This post was the ONLY relevant finding at google for keywords "isync motorola W510". There are iSync plugins for a lot of other phone models, Nokia even creates them for their own phone models, but NOTHING on W510.

I've tried everything I could to make it work (got an Address Book full with contacts from my previous phone), but I just couldn't succeed. iSync will always say, that the phone is not supported, when I try to add it.

I used Klauss' code, downloaded Pref Setter, tried to import the code, even tried to repair the xml in Dreamweaver, by comparing it to other Motorola's, but still couldn't get it right.

Klauss, can You PLEASE try to help me? Or if anyone else has found a way to copy the Address Book from their Mac to Motorola W510, would You please let me know how you did it? Thank You.

Have a great day! :)

Hello, NN84. I am sorry that I havn't had a look here since quite a lot of time. Found your message looking for news about the W510 with google.

For me it still works with the values I appointed above. Contacts sync fine, calender does not. I introduced them duplicating a similar setting for an other Motorola Phone and changing the different values.

It happens quite frequently that iSync doesn't see the phone at the first try. Just stay in iSync, disconnect the phone, connect it again, and it should work. Maybe it's better to connect the phone after starting iSync.
